In this era DB's arent allowed to so much as breathe on opposing WR's without it being a penalty. Defensive players can't touch the QB without it being a penalty. This is the Roger Goodell era where he wants games to be as highest scoring as possible. The best way to do that is give teams free yardage like a 5 yard penalty (incidental contact) wiping out a 4th and 40. Imagine a Madden game like the Pittsburgh/Arizona SB where you gout screwed out of a win by the ref's. Imagine a game where the opposing WR falls on his own and you are called for a pass interference. Imagine a game like last years Pats/Panthers where your WR is bear hugged in the endzone on the final play and there is no call. That would be true sim and everyone here would be crying all day long about the game cheating and the game being broken. No one here really wants a true life sim, they want certain aspects of it but not all.

Similar to the Fail Mary a few years ago. That game was dictated by replacement refs.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like that every once in awhile, but, to each their own.

Penalties are part of the NFL game, no reason why they can't be a part of a NFL video game.

I hope you don't mean skill relating to the fastest fingers in the west, ie thumb jockey.

I've been harping on this for several years, if others feel the same way, it's not too late to throw in the towel. A year ago last November, Rex Dickson mentioned if PI wasn't in this years game, it might be in 16.

I could of sworn I heard something in the past about penalties being implemnted correctly in Madden 15, was wrong again. [img]

I meant Skill more as in actual NFL games not so much in the game. I have no problem with penalties being in Madden I just don't want them to replicate the real NFL. I don't want to see a PI call every other play in my video games or roughing the passer every time the system thinks I come too close to the QB.

Exactly. Make the sliders work as intended and you can have any kind of game you want by setting them high, low, or whatever. Simple solution.

Has there ever *been* a video football game that had realistic penalties? What about the great, vaunted NFL 2K5?

No, no game has ever really gotten it right. The 2k series did have actual penalty animations though.
